Ukraine restless ... he really needs to a binky on the side domestically is as far as he's concerned ... for retaining power ... so how that how does he do that while the world is keeping a very close eye on hand them and it's not like ... this is an area that has the gall also fell this cycle and all of the place of weakening videos out of that what what what you think Amazon how does this play now and what can be done ... to to bring peace to this region ... sure I think he continues along so the same path of ... sending in the supplies weapons though while the same time being in Berlin and her cousin is there ... arguing for a cease-fire ...
